One more reason to love "Be In Charge" ...

I've picked up one of the many varieties of creepin' crud that is going around: Heavy drainage, coughing. I took a couple of Sudafed and while it relieves the congestion, it does nothing for the postnasal drainage that causes the coughing.

Knowing I would never get to sleep, Donna reminded me that I had some cough syrup from my last bout with something like this. I called "Be In Charge" at 11:30 p.m. to make sure it was OK and got the on-call nurse. She acknowledge it was, and left me with the standard, "Drink plenty of fluids."

Great program. I would never have trusted my own judgment on whether there could have been contraindication with the meds.

Grace and peace ...
